Most Exclusive Residence For Sale Lyrics
It was the biggest house in the neighborhood
He went and bought this house when he made good
Ten bedrooms and a swimming pool
Where he entertained all the people that he knew
But he hit the hard times and had to sell out
Most exclusive residence for sale
He went and spent all the money that he had
Because he had a heart and not a head
He spent it all on girls and fancy jewelry
Then he found himself in front of a judge and jury
And the judge said to pay up, our you must sell out
Most exclusive residence for sale
He had to tell all the servants to go away
Couldn’t even afford to pay their way
He took to the bottle and drunk himself down
Then he soaked away all the troubles and let them drown
Then he saw a notice on the wall
Most exclusive residence for sale
Most exclusive residence for sale
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
He went and bought this house when he made good
Ten bedrooms and a swimming pool
Where he entertained all the people that he knew
But he hit the hard times and had to sell out
Most exclusive residence for sale
Because he had a heart and not a head
He spent it all on girls and fancy jewelry
Then he found himself in front of a judge and jury
And the judge said to pay up, our you must sell out
Most exclusive residence for sale
Couldn’t even afford to pay their way
He took to the bottle and drunk himself down
Then he soaked away all the troubles and let them drown
Then he saw a notice on the wall
Most exclusive residence for sale
Most exclusive residence for sale
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

About British society.
I believe this song is a precursor to "Sunny Afternoon". Both songs are on Face To Face, this comes first, and Sunny Afternoon a few songs later. Both songs feature a guy who was filthy rich at one time, but is not anymore. We don't know why, but we do know that he likes the finer things in life, has an eye for the ladies, enjoys a drink or several, and isn't shy about spending his money.
And doesn't have a hard time finding people help him spend his money. All the people coming to his parties, all the girls accepting jewelry. I would imagine the girlfriend in Sunny Afternoon took full advantage, even taking his car with her.
So apparently he still has the house and the yacht, but not many friends, and hardly any money. He's even drinking beer, for chrissake.
